getting an HTTP Error 500 on a form post

[iBlaine]

I'm hoping someone here can answer my problem - I'm getting a 500
error when I run this code. What it should do is setup cookies, log
in, then post a file to a form. The problem is it throws an exception
at ClientCookie.ur lopen(form.clic k()). The webserver hosting the form
is fine, the python looks like it should work, I cant figure out how
to solve or debug this.

######### python code
# cookie handler
cookieJar = ClientCookie.Co okieJar()
opener =
ClientCookie.bu ild_opener(Clie ntCookie.HTTPCo okieProcessor(c ookieJar))
opener.addheade rs = [("User-agent","Mozilla/5.0 (compatible)")]
ClientCookie.in stall_opener(op ener)
fp = ClientCookie.ur lopen("http://example.com/login.user")
forms = ClientForm.Pars eResponse(fp)
fp.close()

# login
form = forms[0]
form["j_username "] = "bob" # use your userid
form["j_password "] = "1234" # use your password
fp = ClientCookie.ur lopen(form.clic k())
fp.close()

# post new file
fp = ClientCookie.ur lopen("http://example.com/form_page")
forms = ClientForm.Pars eResponse(fp)
form = forms[0]
form["reportId"] = "4239"
form.add_file(o pen("/home/filename.xml"), "text/plain",
"filename.x ml")
request = form.click()
fp = ClientCookie.ur lopen(request)
fp.close()
